Rural post boxes are being fitted with electronic tags to deter¹ criminals from stealing them to sell for £5,000 or more.

英国乡村地区的邮筒近日被装上电子标签，以遏制罪犯偷盗邮筒并将其以5000英镑或更多的价钱卖掉。

At least 100 of the traditional red boxes are taken every year, with those in isolated² towns and villages most at risk.

The 'significant threat' has driven the Royal Mail to tag what they say is 'part of the national image'.

Gangs are thought to be targeting the boxes after four Victorian ones were stolen from three Norfolk villages over just one weekend in January.

Hi-tech equipment will be used to track boxes that go missing, a Royal Mail spokesman said, adding: 'Theft of post boxes is relatively³ rare but there are spates⁴ involving individuals or gangs.

'We have an internal security team looking at equipment including forensic⁵ tags, permanent metal-marking systems and electronic tracking.'
